FEATURE REQUEST: Export/settings from file about saka-key HOT 8 CLOSED

I understand your pain. Henceforth, settings on custom profiles will carry forward until version 2.0, which won't happen for a while. Here are the concrete details:

• built-in profiles will reset on every release (and automatically have bindings for new commands)
• custom profiles will never update (so you'll have to manually add bindings for new commands)
• the active profile for each category will never reset

Hopefully this is a good compromise. I'll also add the option to import/export settings, though this may take longer to release.

Coming up with good default bindings is one of my biggest challenges. I highly appreciate any suggestions. Default bindings for each built-in profile are defined in https://github.com/lusakasa/saka-key/blob/master/src/modes/command/default.json.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you very-very much!! :)

I'm in the process migrating to saka-key from http://5digits.org/help/pentadactyl/index.xhtml

In general, I like the more orthogonal grouping of bindings with saka-key, but I also like the single key shortcuts and the VIM styled binding of pentadactyl.

An approach to allowing customer profiles/overrides would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi gliptak, you can actually define your own profiles in the current release. Just go to the options page and click on the triple vertical dots at the top right of each settings category and select new. You can then change any settings you wish. The Command category has four built-in profiles. The default one is designed for beginners and contains multi-key bindings so they don't accidentally trigger a command unintentionally. The power profile has single key bindings that should be faster, but a little harder to remember. Thanks for the link to Pendactyl. I'll definitely draw inspiration from those bindings. I'll be sure to update the handbook at http://saka-key.lusakasa.com to make sure it includes all this info.

@eejdoowad Thank you for the pointer on the power profile. Multiple profiles do allow for needs of wider groups of users.

@DanBondarenko I'd like to make one last breaking change to the way settings are stored on the backend to facilitate support for importing and exporting options and simplify the storage logic. Sorry, but this means that you'll have to put up with having your settings reset for one last release. Record your settings somewhere before the next release, which should happen in the next couple days.

The release will include support for importing and exporting settings to/from a json file like the following.

@eejdoowad, Thank you for including this functionality in the update!

from saka-key.

I've released version 1.16. It includes all requested features. Took a lot more time than anticipated. I ended up rewriting all the logic behind how options work (which required modifying about 50 files). The end result is Saka Key should be much more reliable, the code should be much easier to understand, and you can import/export/reset your settings as well as create new blank profiles. Thanks!
